[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Real question- what do SAHM’s do with their time when the kids are in school all day or out of the house altogether?[/quote]

They do what the rest of us far more efficient parents do on nights and weekends.

It’s amazing how long you can stretch out normal chores if it means the difference between getting a job or staying home. [/quote]

My kids are in school for 8 hours. It takes me around 3 hours every day of cooking, cleaning, laundry, grocery.  + 3 hours of driving my kids to school and picking them up (ugh - my kid are not allowed to take the school bus in a pandemic).   That leaves me 5 hours of alone time at home without kids. This gets devoted to naps, shopping, exercise, hobbies, classes, socializing, paperwork, family obligations,  school stuff, volunteering etc.   I also have a weekly cleaner and a lawn mowing person.

Nights and weekends are generally free and is leisure time for everyone.  That is how I spend my time. Of course, when kids were little and needed my care I had a chaotic life, but with them in school, life is quite blissful.

I know how hard WOHMs work and I just have to say - "Wow! Good for you."  I hope you enjoy your life.
